I just had a look at the insect you mentioned and saw the similarity in features; mostly around the head.

After closer inspection, I realised that I wasn't sure as to what it was. So I put it on my Flickr page to see if anyone had any ideas, but so far no comment was made. Can anyone here shed any light as to the species of this bug? This is the creature in question: <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mj-photopix/10601507824/in/photostream">http://www.flickr.com/photos/mj-photopix/10601507824/in/photostream</a> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p>Any info on the insect is welcomed - thanks very much!</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p>M Tay</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:18c30505-cb8c-4880-a90f-229603a7769d] -->Sat, 02 Nov 2013 02:12:58 GMThttp://www.nhm.ac.uk/natureplus/message/37576?tstart=0#37576M Tay2013-11-02T02:12:58Z1 year, 9 months ago20
